I wish you continued fun and joy with your (/ our common) unique hobby, combined with the sincere hope to pass on the Shanty as an intangible genetic material to subsequent generations!

Thank you . You guys are awesome. |

| Simon@Ostend | Hi! I've seen you guys play at Oostende voor Anker 2016 last Friday. This was the second time for me in Ostend. Two years ago you were there too. Since then the sound of your music never let me go. I like the pure lyrics and vibrations!

| Hannah | Thank you for supporting the Hospiscare Starlight Walk last night, your performances were amazing! Hannah, Louise & Susie |
| Peter Arnold | Just a quick note to thank you and the rest of boys for a cracking night last Wednesday, and I am sure it was obvious to you how much the audience appreciated it.... everybody went away very happy. I must say I was impressed by your professional presentation and attention to small details that really make you stand out as an act that can capture any sort of audience. It was a shame you couldn't hang up your backdrop, but that would have been just another bit of icing on an already well decorated cake! It goes without saying that the songs and the singing were magnificent. Have a great summer season, and keep in touch. Cheers,Peter (Jurassic Folk Club/East Devon Folk) |
| Brigitte | I was there (in Bath) and thought you were amazing. I wanted to hop in my car and head south west to the sea! |
| Anne & Jamie | Thank you so very much for singing at our wedding earlier in the spring. It was such a very generous gift of your time & talents and we feel truly honoured that you agreed to join us.

Thank you once again. With best wishes Anne & Jamie |
| Paul Taplin | Just wanted to say it was lovely to meet you all last night and thanks for the songs at our open mic night, it would be great to see you again. Hope you enjoyed the food and the pub.

| Alice Bollen | My family and I saw you sing on Sunday in Clovelly and we loved you! Beautiful costumes, great voices...very entertaining. Many thanks :) |
| Hein Anne & Sophie Botma | We enjoyed your performance at Appingedam very much and are still enjoying your CD. At that festival you were one of a few that we considered to be a real shanty crew. The other groups were okay musically but the link with shanty was weak to absent. Hope to hear you again some time some place. |
| Marjanne | Hello There! You gave us a wonderful performance in Holland/Appingedam. We had a great time listening to your shanties. |
| Aline Balding Schellinkhout | It's still buzzing in my head. My friend Mara and me have had a wonderfull time again. I've seen and heard a lot of good groups, but you lot were one of the best. I hope to be able to see you again sometime. Best regards, Aline |
| Johannes en Tally | Appingedam 23/24/25-8-2013 We enjoyed your performances! Thanx. |
| Lily . Ann | Hello Boys, I discovered you at Paimpol's sea shanty festival 2011, and returned this year to see you again, then buy one of your CDs. Your are fantastic, gorgeous, I do like your very British good humour! I do hope to have an opportunity to see you in Falmouth sea shanty festival next year! BISOUS from one of your French Fan from South of Brittany...Lily xoxo |
| Jon Gale | Just back from 3 days at Paimpol Shanty Festival. Certainly the best 'pure' sea shanty group there. Fabulous songs, wonderful harmonies and excellent 'costume'. There were many good acts there but often over accompanied by instruments and too orchestrated and over arranged. You sang the work songs as they would have been sung on board. I really enjoyed singing "Blood Red Roses" with you. Made my day. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you all again soon. Best regards, Jon. |
| Rob | I loved the singing (at Wickham) and think you're an awesome act. |
| Debbie Morannh | I have just had the most tremendous fun watching the Exmouth Shanty Men at the Dartmouth Shanty Festival in the park then on the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer on its trip on the River Dart. What a brilliant afternoon! I love the singing, the outfits & the fun that everyone seems to be having. I am so glad I bought the CDs (Playing in the car as I write this). A very Big Thank You to all concerned for giving me a great start to my holiday in Devon. |
| Bob Ford | What can I say about the Exmouth Shanty Men? The 'original buoy band' lived up to their name with a performance on the Main Stage at this year's Wessex Folk Festival which was a combination of quite lovely singing and lashings of humour. If you like shanties go see the buoy band as it is well worth it. Bob. Organiser, Wessex Folk Festival |
| izzy scott | I so enjoyed your performance at the Exmouth Festival today, sung with great gusto and humour. Well done. Bring on next year's performance at the festival. |
| Doreen Peach | The crew were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed your performance at Plymouth Pavilions. The repertoire was varied and very well sung; and the costumes and props made for a very atmospheric night. |
| Cath Pratley | A big thank you to all of the motley crew that came ashore to entertain the wedding guests of my daughter Emily and her (now) husband, Mark. What a rip-roaring evening you gave us - it was unforgettable and all our guests heartily agreed. They talked long into the night about how much they'd enjoyed your marvellous singing and cheerful banter. For those of us that joined you in your stage antics - we loved it! Bring it on! Your performance was the icing on the wedding cake of a totally fantastic day. Thank you for everything. If anybody is wondering about booking these lads for an occasion, don't think about it any longer, just get 'em booked! They're brilliant. |
| Emily & Mark Johnson | Just a quick note to thank you all so much for making our wedding at Reed Hall so memorable. The guests loved it and we thought you were brilliant as always. Look forward to seeing you in May! Best wishes, Emily & Mark |
| Melvyn | Thank you for sending the CD. It's Fantastic. Can't wait for your next recording. |
| Tony Atkinson. | Our thanks to the crew for another wonderful, entertaining evening last week for Trafalgar Night. Best regards, Tony Atkinson Lt. RN CTCRM Lympstone |

She did take them down later. Many thanks for singing all for me grog for her you made her weekend. Les, Chris and Brogan Sykes |
| Chris Sykes | Hi guys, just to say how much we enjoyed meeting you in Banbury. You really made a little girl ( Brogan ) happy today when you sang All for me grog for her! Hope to get to see you again soon, you were great! Take care me 'armies! : ) x |
| Emily Wood | The finest shanty men in the west! Loved watching you perform on BBC Radio Devon and hope to catch you out and about sometime soon! |
| Henry Herbert | I was a little bit concerned when I first arrived that the shanty men were going to be like morris dancers but it turned out that they were much, much more fun. We had a fantastic day! Thank you guys, from Tom and me. The Fabulous Baker Brothers |
| Jennifer Stone | Was down in Sidmouth last night. Brilliant set, loved the bits of history and comical crew names!! Great sing'a'long atmosphere!! Thank you xx (Your Newest Fan!) |
| Phil & Julie Spiller | We had a thoroughly enjoyable time watching and listening to your performance at the Brest Maritime Festival. Unfortunately your Shanty renditions were over far too quickly (we even tried to help by singing along when we could!) We hope to see you again, maybe Paimpol next time. Bon chance, Au revoir, Kenavo |
| Ian Davies | Ahoy there, I just wanted to say thanks for a superb afternoon's entertainment the other Sunday. I caught you at The Swan Inn, Lympstone and had a fantastic time listening to your set. Absolutely brilliant, really enjoyed it! Ian |
| Paul Markwick | Great seeing (and singing with) you in Brest on Saturday 14th July. Your performance and stage craft was a joy to experience. I have been singing shanties ever since! Hope to see you again. Paul - ex Tyneside Maritime Chorus |
| Anon, Oostende | You are beautiful! |
| Brian | You are the best shanty crew I've ever come across! |
| Bart van Gameren | We saw the Exmouth Shanty Men for the first time and I was impressed. The performance and the singing was perfect. Bart of De Marconisten Shantykoor |
| Elizabeth Colley | I think you're absolutely fantastic. Your voices are brilliant and you don't cover up by using instruments. You sing and you act the part! |
| Fred | It's different to the way we do it but it's nice to see another way of singing shanties and, as we saw, we can sing together. Different sound. We enjoyed your singing and your performance. Fred of Armstrong's Patent |

| Don | Thank you for Saturday's Shanty Men concert. It will stay in our collective memory as a highlight of the year - and a great credit to all the performers, volunteers and pressed alike! Sincere thanks to all. |
| David | What a splendid evening we enjoyed on Friday with the Shanty Men. It was such a relaxed, fun and enjoyable time - as well as including a vivid eye opener into life aboard in the 18th 19th centuries with all it's rigours and perils. Thank you all for your goodwill and skill. We can thoroughly recommend you. |
| Jacques | I bought your last cd The Full Shanty in Paimpol and I love it. So when your first cd is availbale on your website I decided to order the 2 cd I did not have: Rolling Home and Randy Dandy. Thank You , I now receive the 2 cds. They are very good . |
| Julien | Hello guys, We keep a very good souvenir of our meeting in Paimpol, hope you enjoyed too. According to NWP, you deserve the first place on the podium (if there is one) of the festival!!!

| Terry Rogers | Hi Lads. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with you at Waterford and singing with you at Uluru and the Wander Inn. Come back to Ireland soon so that we can see you all again. See you on a poopdeck somewhere. Terry |
| Sandy Bank | Was absolutely delighted to have caught up with you saucy salty seadogs again at the Falmouth Shanty Festival and thoroughly enjoyed your performances. Not at all surprised to find you in the most prestigious slot at the Theatre. What a super-slick show! Always found your crew fantastic entertainment but was blown away by how you've developed into true "consummate professionals". Never mind a pint of Betty Stogs - I'd sail the world and back again for just an encore! PS Love the new CD. Well done lads (and lassie)! |
| Dave Earl | Great Stuff. Keep it up boys - take that whichever way you prefer. See you somewhere at a festival (can't make Falmouth or Warwick) so Sidmouth perhaps. Dave (Middle Bar) |
| Joan | Thank you once again for a lovely evening and for all the work you put into it. Everyone went home with great smiles on their faces which is nice to see in these difficult days. Someone was heard to say that Bridestowe had never had anything like that before. |
| Jaime Killoran | Nice website! |
| Peter | Hi buoys. I seen you sing at Scoriton on Saturday 12th. I have to say I really enjoyed the evening and I look forward to seeing you all again at another port in the near future. I'll also be buying the CD. |
| Greg | Thought you were great. The only singers (at Clovelly) who didn't use mikes, yet your singing reverberated all around the harbour :-) |
| Sandy Bank | Love your super stage show; and the witty website. You certainly float my boat! |
| John | Received the CD in the post safe and sound. What a 'fantastic listen'. Congratulations. |
| Shirley | Great music and great fun. See The Exmouth Shanty Men and get your swashbuckled! |
| Joy Whipps | I've just listened to the Judi Spiers show on Radio Devon and I want to send my congratulations to all the Shanty Men who appeared on her show. It was absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed listening to you all and the songs you sang live came over brilliantly. You put Exmouth on the map in a bigger way than we as a Town Council could ever do. Thank you very much. |
| Miss D. Meaner | I came to your gig at The Bicton and loved it. If I could travel back in time I'd definitely stow away on the Malarkey. You can shiver my timbers any time! |
| Iain Jones | I know from the feedback that Weymouth thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Many thanks and hopefully see you again. |
| Peter and Sheila | Having very recently come back from Falmouth after attending the Falmouth Shout for the 3 days and singing myself hoarse, I returned to Brighton singing sea shanties. I went to the local plumbers for some bits. The two blokes in there at the time were discussing a job they were doing and one said to the other: "What colour paint is it going to be, red or blue?" I couldnt help myself and said "Maroon". They both looked at me as though I was mad. I had to explain about the ship with the red paint and the Malarkey with the blue. They didnt understand. Anyway I was happy with the explaination. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are still singing now. Terrific stuff. Keep it up and we'll see you again sometime soon. Bye Bye, Bye Bye, Bye Bye, Bye Bye - Bye Bye My Roseanna. |
| C. Weed | You guys are fantastic! I love the way you don't take yourselves too seriously and yet create a seriously classy show. Don't sail away too far or too often! |
| Suki Commin | Thank you. On behalf of the Lympstone Village Hall Management Committee, may I thank the Shantymen for organising your concert in aid of Village Hall funds. This was indeed a memorable evening and we're delighted that you raised £740 in total towards our appeal. |
| Liz Berth | Who'd have thought it wold be your site at the top of the Google list when I searched for Pump / Dry / hell. Well done lads ;-) |
| Brian | Have a look at this talented and dedicated group of folk singers. They are very good and their prime aim (apart from the enjoyment and booze!) is to raise money for charity. I think they have raised £40,000 plus so far. They also have aspirations of being the best singers of shanties in the UK and they are probably well on their way in this respect. |
| Andy | Hi Crew was lucky enough to see you perform in my home town of Harwich,what a great performance hope to see you again sometime regards Andy |
